Total Addressable Market (TAM): This is the total revenue opportunity available if Jupiter Money captured 100% of the market. It would be based on

-> The total number of banking customers in India.

-> Average revenue per user (ARPU) for banking services.


TAM = No of banking clients * ARPU

= 528,190,000* $ 30

= $15,845,700,000 ~ $15.8 billion


Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM): This represent the portion of TAM which can be addressable based on different product features and services. Given that Jupiter money is targeting tech-savvy urban millennials and Gen Z users who prefer convenience and personal insights , we will assume 20% Metro + Tier 1 users are addressable based on Jupiter's business model


SAM = TAM * % of serviceable market

= $15,845,700,000 * 20%

= $3,169,140,000 ~ $3.1 billion


Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM): This is portion of SAM that Jupiter can realistically capture. Given the strong competition in market from different kinds of banks and market penetration strategies, we will assume that Jupiter can obtain 15% of the market .


SOM = SAM * % of obtainable market

= $3,169,140,000 * 15%

= $ 475,371,000 ~ $475 million
